5619 Walnut Hill Ln, Dallas, TX 75229 is one of the most famous homes in Texas. Known as the Crespi Estate, it was built in 1938 for an Italian count and designed by Swiss architect Maurice Fatio. It’s hosted presidents, royalty, and icons like Coco Chanel. Set on nearly 16 acres in Preston Hollow, it’s like a French chateau dropped right into the heart of Dallas.
The main house is massive—27,092 square feet with 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms. The primary suite is over 3,000 square feet by itself and has its own sitting area, fireplace, garden tub, double vanities, and huge closets. Most bedrooms have their own bathrooms and walk-in closets too.

This home was built for entertaining. It has a grand ballroom, an Art Deco bar, two wine cellars, and even a library brought in from France. There’s also a conservatory and a full media room with a 19-seat private movie theater. The kitchen has a big island, high-end appliances, stone countertops, and a walk-in pantry.
There’s more than just the main house. The property includes a 3,300-square-foot guesthouse and a 4,800-square-foot entertainment building. Outside, you’ll find a large swimming pool with a diving board, a hot tub, tennis and bocce ball courts, a playground, and a fire pit. There’s even a creek, a greenhouse, and a chicken coop.

You’ll find 11 fireplaces, smart home features, an elevator, skylights, and designer finishes throughout. There are balconies, terraces, and porches on every side of the house. A 7-car garage, gated driveway, and helipad make the property feel more like a private resort.
It has modern energy-saving systems too. The HVAC is zoned, and the home includes smart thermostats, Energy Star appliances, and insulated windows. Water, sewer, and gas are all public and already connected.

All together, the estate sits on 15.69 acres and includes three extra lots bundled in the sale. The lawns are perfectly maintained with tons of mature trees, landscaping, lighting, and a full sprinkler system. There’s plenty of space for privacy, gardening, or future additions.
This home is part of the Crespi Estates area in one of the most high-end neighborhoods in Dallas. Even with all the space and privacy, you’re still close to private schools, shopping, restaurants, and everything the city has to offer.

The price is $64,000,000, which comes out to about $2,362 per square foot. The home has a tax-assessed value of $30.6 million, and annual property taxes are around $684,011.
